Help p1nkstar After Rental Equipment was Stolen from Her Car

Hey everyone! My name is María Rivera Felizardo, although most of you may know me through my artist name p1nky or p1nkstar. I am musician, DJ, community organizer, and transgender Mexican woman based in Austin, Texas. My practice focuses on collaborating with trans and queer artists to create empowering worlds where we feel celebrated in. You can browse some of my work via social media @p1nkstar_, at p1nkstar.com , or through streaming services.

I am writing to you because on the night of Friday May 23 my car was broken into outside of my house while I was sleeping. That night, I had loaded into my trunk DJ equipment that I was renting from Rock N' Roll Rentals for an early gig the next day. I believe that the burglars were looking for anything that may seem valuable, and since they were able to get into my trunk through the backseat—they took the XDJ players, cases, cables, and everything else related to it. After getting an estimate on the price of the equipment from the rental place, determining that my insurances will not be able to cover it, and talking to friends over the last few days, I have decided to create this request for community support to aid me with the losses this incident is taking on me.

As a working class artist and community organizer, I simply cannot afford to pay for this loss. It would lift a great burden here if my community can intervene here to help me in this situation. If you or someone you know is able to support at this time, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thank you all. <3
